@xamassed​ asked: "It's nearly two in the morning, what are you doing up?" ( gavin c: )

     He’d given her an estimate for how long this latest mission would take, and she knew he would do his best to keep it within the timeframe. If not because he was committed to his job, because he didn’t want to worry her. So when the day of his return came around, she waited for him. ​And as the hours kept on ticking by, she came up with a disguise.

Gavin wouldn’t have come to visit properly once it’d gotten too late, but he would definitely stop by to check in on her, so she brought her keyboard to bed with her to play around writing songs while she waited. Feeling a strong wind blowing from the one open window in her room had a smile tipping her lips, and she took out the headphones just in time to hear his worried voice.

[When Anna had come to New York to perform on Broadway she’d promised herself one thing - she wouldn’t lose herself in the show business world. It was the same thing she’d promised herself before every gig she had in LA and it wasn’t about to change now because it worked. To that affect, she found herself walking to the pizza place by her apartment to start her Thursday (outside of the house) the same way she always did - by buying a large buffalo chicken pizza with bacon added on and ranch swirled on top and a 20 fl oz bottle of Pepsi - the only soda she allowed herself to drink. She tugged the door to the shop opened and greeted the semi-familiar looking cashier with a smile.] 

@xamassed​ asked:  He laid out beside her, hands under his head and eyes closed. "If we packed our things right now and left to visit anywhere in the world, where would you want to go?" His tone suggested this wasn't a hypothetical question, but he didn't rush her for an answer. He merely laid there, letting the breeze and her presence put him at ease.

     It wasn’t often that Gavin got to leave work early. In fact, the opposite happened to be the norm more than anything. So having him all to herself for a few hours more left her absolutely giddy. They shared a nice meal, watched a couple of episodes of a silly tv series they happened to come across and then turned in a little early.

With the lights off and the windows opened, they enjoyed the cool evening in silence, not feeling the need to go to sleep just yet and simply basking in the closeness. Resting her head to his chest, Alice could feel herself eventually drifting off to the rhythm sound of his heart, but his voice had her alert again.

@xamassed​ asked: "Hmph. . ." He pulled a face, eyes downcast as he peered at the clearly unhealthy succulent sitting in front of him. Gavin, regardless how hard he tried, could never successfully raise a single household plant. "Alice, does it need more water? Or more of that plant food we bought?" He twisted in his chair to look at her, brows scrunched in mild frustration.

     Seeing Gavin’s sad puppy face tugged at her her heartstrings like nothing else. Especially because the reason he was upset in the first place was the little succulent she’d gifted him not looking so well. Smiling fondly, Alice couldn’t help but lift a hand to his cheek and guide him into a gentle kiss if only to take a little bit of the sadness from his expression.

“It looks like the opposite, baby.” Bringing the pot closer, she took his hand on hers and very carefully pressed his fingertip to one of the lower leaves so he could feel the difference and know what to be on the lookout for from now on. “See how it’s kinda mushy? That happens when they get too much water.” She knew Gavin was diligent above everything else and followed the watering schedule she’d taught him to the risk every day. “We’ve been having a lot of rain lately, so it makes sense.”

@xamassed​ asked:  When she smiles at him, he can't help but to feel butterflies filling every part of his being. And when he feels those butterflies, he has to prove to her just how happy she makes him. Heart warm and hands warmer still, Gavin pulled his darling in, lips crashing against hers in a heated but heartfelt kiss that he hoped would last until he desperately needed air.

[ Smooch Day~ ]

     Alice had never quite understood a few of her old childhood friends who’d dreamed of being a bride even back when they were little girls. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that she was raised by a number of single parents, but daydreaming about her wedding day was not something she remembered ever doing. 

When she was old enough to start dating and truly understand the nuances of it, she still didn’t really think about marriage. She had her future to worry about, goals she wanted to achieve. Finding a partner and being in a relationship had never been a priority. But gosh if loving Gavin didn’t make her feel like a lady in an old timey Hollywood movie, ready to run across a field of flowers and throw herself into his arms.

Most of the time she could dampen those exceedingly overwhelming thoughts and scale them down to more manageable desires. Wanting him to be the last thing she saw before falling asleep and the first thing she woke up to became wanting to move in together. Wanting to cook for him all the time was just a way to make sure he would eat at all throughout the day. The fact that he lived absolutely rent free in her head? Have you seen the man? That one explained itself.

Still, whenever he smiled at her and pulled her into a kiss, Alice could do nothing but accept that she certainly would not mind being his wife. In fact, that would make her the happiest woman in the world. Looping her arms around his neck, she earnestly returned his feelings, deepening and lengthening the kiss until they were forced to part.

@xamassed​ asked: He left one bite to her neck — soft and fleeting — before he moved his lips closer to the front of her throat, the next bite harder and slightly more bruising. "Did you miss me as much as I missed you?" ( gavin )

     As a high ranking officer, Gavin spent more time on missions than he did at home, and Alice felt like she held herself pretty well against the anxiety of waiting for him to return safely while he’s out there keeping everyone else safe. Experience taught her that she could keep her cool during his absence for up to a week, but after the count of seven days, worry would take hold of her thoughts, running wild with every what if scenario until it plagued her dreams. A fortnight of radio silence left her on the verge of madness, only for it all to dissipate so easily at the sight of him walking through her front door for once - using the key she’d given him, no less.

Good thing she wasn’t holding anything. They would have ended up on the floor as she sprinted towards him, throwing herself onto his arms if only to make sure he was really there. A small part of her felt silly, embarrassed even, at how desperately relieved she was. But the weight of his grip spoke loud and clear: he’d been craving this closeness too.

Their mouths found their way to one another before even saying anything, but truthfully, there was no need for words. Only the taste of him could satisfy the longing in her soul that yearned for its other half, and she gave herself to his kiss wholeheartedly. Everything else went out of focus, and suddenly she was off the ground, strong hands picking her up with ease and pressing her against the wall. Her legs parted to make way for him to come even closer, holding him there where he belonged.

Alice had no time to whine her complaint when he broke from their hungry kiss, humming instead when his teeth closed gently, teasingly on her skin. The next bite had her moaning just under a heavy breath, throwing her head back in offering as her hand sunk into the softness of the hair at the back of his neck, the added pressure of her touch encouraging him to keep going. Please.
